Tradition of the Nutcracker

Nutcracker figurines originated in the Erzgebirge area of Germany as early as the 1700s. They were traditionally dressed as soldiers and kings. Villagers took satisfaction in having these authoritative figures perform the menial task of cracking nuts. Some may still crack nuts, but the real joy is their colorful presence decorating the home.
